The dimensional Depot is greaaat, I can finally build all my factories far apart without needing a centralized storage location that I have to visit every 10 minutes.

That is one of two reasons why I use creative mode. There was always one item missing in my inventory, so I was on my way to the other side of the map...

[@Titan-8190]

I don't like it, it feels overpowered. I liked the logistic part of the game, making convenient storage rooms and preparing a train or a car full of construction material when leaving. I wish this dimensional depot was much smaller with a download limit, so it would still help us avoid to traverse the map to get that one missing screw but without completly removing the need to carry items.

[@PavelBelyaev23]

It's only expansion of your backpack. And it's limited. If you try put all your stuff there it'll clog very quickly. So I'll use it only for basic materials (concrete, iron stuff, silica). IF I'll even use it. I got used to carry all I need by train.

[@Draugo]

@@PavelBelyaev23 It's seriously amazing just for concrete. I wouldn't mind if it was just limited to structural and basic materials like plates and wire.

[@powerpc6037]

That dimensional depot is a true game changer. This will save us countless hours of walking/running/riding/flying back to your central storage to grab more items while building a new big factory. I always laid down a railroad network to the new production spot and used a 5-wagon train to store my items (which still wasn't enough for some projects) but this will no longer be needed. Now it will be possible to just setup that dimensional depot after each storage bin in your central storage to automatically keep that full while building new stuff. Amazing you guys at CSS. Not to mention all the other stuff that's coming like the straight belt feature which will further increase build speeds.

This definitely improves things, but I definitely think that the max amount of concrete and iron plates should start higher. Especially since 1500 might be after an upgrade. And that’s if the dimensional inventory isn’t shared.

I actually used my first sloop to amp up my only steel beam constructor. Had a fun time noticing that duplicating alien remains into protein, and then further duplicating protein into biomass, quadrupling the biomass production from alien remains as a whole. The only downside is that the max size for biomass is 200, which is also how much the amped up protein-to-biomass constructor produces, so it has to wait for the whole stack to empty out before it can even start to craft a new one. You get so much more, but the production is slow. Luckily it also doesn't eat that much electricity, since the processes can be so heavily underclocked anyway.

13:30 In short, the bonus is additive instead of multiplicative. That's the standard language for this kind of upgrades in videogames.

[@quark-eisernunion4111]

but it's not? the formula is less than additive (at least in the way i interpret it in a video game context 2 amplifiers would give 120% power but what you get with the formula gives diminishing returns after a bunch of amplifiers)

[@Benjogeejessejacket]

@@quark-eisernunion4111 One amplifier gives you 10% and two give you 20%. It's a normal additive bonus.

Additive and non compounding, so instead of it going 110%, 121%, 133% etc it’s 110%, 120%, 130% etc

The proper term would be non-compounding.

[@_JustMonika]

@@quark-eisernunion4111 it actually gives increasing (?) returns, since the bonus works on itself. One of them is 500 MW, with the bonus it's 550 MW. If you build two, it's 600 MW each. If you build 10, you get 5000 MW base + 5000 MW bonus from itself. Essentially, 10 of these are equivalent to 4 nuclear reactors, on top of doubling your existing power.

[@kenanjones3481]

lmaooo I appreciate your sense of humor :)

[@awareqwx]

At the average price of electricity generation in Sweden (21.81¢/kWh), a Power Augmenter would be worth €36,640.80 per week, or ~€1,911,864.60 per year off of the innate 500MW output. If you also include the 10% increase, well... Sweden consumed ~531 TWh of energy last year, meaning that their average power consumption (and thus generation) was ~60.5 GW for the year. If the Augmenter boosts the output to 110%, that means that to meet 100% consumption you only have to generate ~91% as much power (10/11) with normal devices, with the Augmenter supplying the rest. (1-0.909090...)*60.5GW = 5.504GW, which is worth €1,200,568.28 _per hour_ or €10,524,181,538.18 per year. Yeah, if I had a backyard big enough for one of those I'd want to build it too.

True, but I feel like the vertical axis doesn't matter much, because people aren't generally making cubes with it. Mostly just matters for fitting the refinery (I think?) in it. Either way, I'm a little disappointed it's "only" 5x5, but depending on where it's added in the tiers it's a totally fine addition. Even in 2 dimensions it's more than you would think it is, so we'll just have to wait and see how it feels in-game.

[@tzgaming207]

My gripe with the blueprint designers is that 16mx16m is ample, & you can do a lot with, but only if maximizing every cubic centimeter into the densest possible blueprint is something you want... Going to 20x20 doesn't change that... Personally, trying to stuff & bend & contort belts & machines into a limited space isn't just simply antithetical to my build style, it's annoying; it's not fun (for me). Without mods, it's only a benefit to some players, & for others, might as well not be there 😕

[@guri256]

@@tzgaming207Exactly. It’s more than enough space to tile ugly jank. I love making large spread out tiles builds though. I love the Factorio copy/paste, letting me tile whole production lines. The lack of this is why I find the T7/T8 lines so boring and painful to place.

@@HW-ow9zp I want to "miss out" on the "fun" of placing down yet another encased industrial beam factory. There's only so many times I can place down the same 50 buildings and find it fun. Last game I placed down about 20 smelters, and about 50 constructors all related to making making cable. Placing down the first few was fun. By the time I finished I was glad it was over, because it wasn't fun anymore. Same is true of the coal power plant. Placing down the first 5 powerplants using compacted coal was satisfying. Placing down the next 15 was work and boring, and I found myself wishing for a way to copy/paste/paste/paste. They did stuff in 1.0 to make it quicker and less pain, but it's still painful, which isn't a feature in my book. This whole game is meant to be about automating, not doing the same tedious thing over and over. People talk about 3rd party mods, but I've never had luck getting a copy/paste mod working in multi-player for the clients without destabilizing the game.

Oh my god the dimensional storage is absolutely what this game has been needing since the first release. I think the absence of that is the number one contributor for why I've never made it to the final tiers of any update. Building across the map just became way too tedious.

Might need some more to actually be desirable but, at least it will be usable.

Well, technically you didn't need a non-drone logistics solution. What I did was had a central battery production site and if I wanted drones with both endpoints somewhere else other than that central site, I just added an extra drone that delivers batteries from the central site to one of the offsite areas.

I really want the blueprinters to be able to 'slide around' what you are working on so you can adjust it, not just on the X & Y axis, but also on the Z axis. If something goes over the edge, either have it wrap to the other end of that axis on the blueprinter, or just have it block pushing things out of bounds. Disassembly of the offending part is possible, but would get annoying when it happens unexpectedly, especially if you don't notice at the time. I'd also kill for a building control panel where I can access the functions of the production equipment from a single location instead of having to squirm and crawl around the factory to try and manually change everything. I'm fine if they have to be connected to some kind of wiring harness to the control panel, even if the wiring harness had to be made with rubber and quickwire. (It's also a great reason to blueprint a factory building with a control room 💖 ) If control panels could only be connected to all the same construction would complicate things a little, but not that much, (smelters to one panel, constructors to a 2nd, etc) and I think some people would end up doing it that way anyhow so different people could be working different parts of the factory as well as aesthetics. (One control panel for everything is the loner with his lonely console, while several control panels is either a workplace, or a workplace with an overworked employee 😜)

The chainsaw change is actually amazing!

[@Skotty64081]

Yeah, there were lots of times where I couldn't take out a small annoying bush/tree because I didn't want it to also remove the tree next to it, which was usually a larger tree that I wanted to keep for aesthetics.

I think the modders can solve the pipe issue temporarily, a good passionate dev, team and a passionate modding ( community) creates a perfect relationship between them

[@martianreject]

I really love the mods that are avaliable right now, they add sooo much control... but I'm still hoping to get a tower defense mod down the line even tho I know how incredibly hard it would be. I would pay a kickstarter tho...

How will the Dimensional Depot work in Multiplayer? Will you share the Depot? Will items be duped and everyone has its own inventory?

[@rocket2739]

I think since you can input an automated line and there's no production line ownership, everyone is going to share the same cloud. I can hardly see any other way.

[@Miss_Trillium]

​@rocket2739 I wonder if overall caps will be increased for more players, or maybe not? I feel like that could lead to people just having "new people" join to increase size for what would otherwise be a single player world?

[@veyarog]

It will work like the iCloud of your iPhone I think. You will have one common cloud for all players in your world. Each player can download resources on the common cloud.

[@guri256]

⁠@@veyarog I really hope not. The entire awesome part of the depot is that I don’t need to carry around as much iron plates and concrete. If it’s shared, then I still need to carry concrete for large projects so I don’t drain all of concrete, or have someone else drain all the concrete when I’m starting a project.

Good thing I was inclined to save my ‘parental unit’ who needed ‘alien artifacts’ as they’re the ‘only cure’ 😅
